In our latest episode, you can listen to a conversation about library spaces and local use. Step into Hungary’s first palace built explicitly for library purposes, whose certain interiors are often compared to settings reminiscent of the Harry Potter films! The Reading Hall of the building inaugurated in 1876, adorned with frescoes by Károly Lotz, offers an unparalleled atmosphere for studying, where registered readers have access to the vast core collection, and the availability of exceptional special-collection materials (e.g., incunabula and codices) is also discussed. From our podcast, you’ll learn how the library ensures seamless local use and how it supports visitors with modern technology woven into a 19th-century library palace.
